Can Subaru finally conquer the family EV market with its biggest electric SUV yet? We take a first look at the 2027 Subaru Getaway to see if this three-row EV is the ultimate adventure machine.

As the first three-row Subaru EV, the Getaway is designed to offer the utility families crave with the rugged, go-anywhere persona Subaru buyers expect. While it shares its foundation with the Toyota Highlander EV, the Getaway distinguishes itself with a more aggressive exterior design, plus it has 8.3 inches of ground clearance and heavy-duty roof rails capable of supporting a rooftop tent. Inside, this electric Subaru SUV feels more premium than anything else in the current Subaru lineup. The top-tier trims feature Nappa leather, as well as a 14-inch touchscreen interface that far surpasses the tech found in the current Subaru Forester or Outback. Space is a major highlight, too; the long wheelbase provides an impressively roomy third row and a flat load floor for cargo. Performance-wise, the Getaway aims to be a strong player in the electric 3-row SUV segment. Every trim comes standard with all-wheel drive and a potent 420-horsepower powertrain, allowing for a 0-60 mph sprint in under 5 seconds. Subaru estimates over 300 miles of range from a 95.8 kWh battery, and the inclusion of a NACS port ensures easy access to the Tesla Supercharger network. While pricing isn't official, Subaru is positioning the Getaway to be a high-value alternative to rivals like the Kia EV9 and Hyundai Ioniq 9, and we estimate a price point starting in the $60,000 range.

Towing capacity of 3500 is way too low. Why can't it at least match the Ascent?

my brother respectfully if you’re gonna test getting into the 3rd row you have to get in from the outside like real life

Yeah, definitely the best looking Subie ever made. Looks upscale. Would definitely consider over the Highlander EV. Both nice EV offerings at fair prices. Do like the Nappa leather option.

Nice Subaru touches, yet Getaway infotainment seems to be mostly cut-paste from Toyota which is subscription oriented and screen driven. Pity...Outback setup is much better, though we are hearing subscriptions are pending for maps and other features after the first year of ownership.

no way it can hit 300miles in real world with only 95KWh

very nice looking. good proportions good style, roomy. Can I get this exact suv with a turbo boxer 6? Then you have my attention..... And maybe a 3rd row delete. options to minimize features to reduce weight. Like a higher trim without a moon roof. Lighter wheels. But...over all a good start.

Does either the Toyota or Subaru version have a spare?
